Publisher's summary

New York Times best-selling author Lynsay Sands welcomes listeners back to the Scottish Highlands, where a gallant warrior vows to protect a beautiful runaway.

Lady Murine Carmichael has known her share of bad luck. But when her debt-ridden half brother tries to sell her off in exchange for a few Scottish horses, it's the final straw. If keeping her freedom means escaping through harsh countryside alone, so be it. She has barely begun her journey when she lands an unlikely escort - the brawny Highlander who just refused to buy her virtue.

Dougall Buchanan was disgusted by Lord Danvries' shameful offer, but Murine tempts him beyond measure. Even bedraggled and dusty, the lass glows with beauty and bravery. Dougall wants to do more than just help her flee. He wants to protect her - with his life and his heart - if she'll only let him. For Murine may be pursued by a powerful foe, but nothing compares to the fiery courage of a Highlander in love.

Narrator was amazing!! Story was okay.

If you could sum up Falling for the Highlander in three words, what would they be?

funny, hot, and slow.

If you’ve listened to books by Lynsay Sands before, how does this one compare?

This was the first times i listened to the audio version of a Lynsay Sands book. The narrator did an amazing job.

Have you listened to any of Elle Newlands’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

Yes.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

I laughed.

Good Read

I love romance novels set in the historic highlands. The narrator had a lovely brogue accent which led to the charm of the story. overall, it was a good book although the story and plot were predictable. the was also no prologue, which for me is a necessity to have full closure. Who wouldn't want a glimpse of the characters lives after the story ends?

Good but not great by Lynsay Sands

It's not one of my favorite books by Lynsay Sands. I took some time to be done with it. The characters was a bit boring, Which is a pity, given the storryline is ideal for a realy good book.

got to love the highlanders

What made the experience of listening to Falling for the Highlander the most enjoyable?

I enjoy the settings, the time period of the book and that it is another member of a family that were in other books. I also appreciated i was not sitting on the edge of my seat throughout the book. The lead lady was naive but intelligent if somewhat headstrong.

What other book might you compare Falling for the Highlander to and why?

I have enjoyed the highlander series that Sands has written and hope she finishes by each Buchanan brother having his own book. I enjoy the humor Sands puts into her books, Sometimes events appear contrived due to writing or editing, who knows.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Pretty much but i listen to my books while knitting or other needle work. I also listen while doing quiet jobs such as weeding, cooking, sewing, ironing etc. So depending on the size of the job, i may get to listen to the book in one sitting and this one i would have continued to the end with interest.
